4.17.1 Select Target System
Selecting the Maintenance - Select Target System menu item or Select Target System... from the
Connect toolbar drop down menu opens this form that is used to select which target system ToolsTalk
PowerMACS should connect to when going online.
Click Browse... to select the PowerMACS Network Configuration file that best describes the network to
connect to.
A PowerMACS Network Configuration file describes the expected layout of a PowerMACS Network in the
sense that it lists a number of PowerMACS system nodes (System TCs), that for some reason are
logically grouped together. Each PowerMACS system in the network is identified with the IP-address of its
System TC and free textual description. The main purpose of this file is to document a configuration where
several PowerMACS systems are used, for example a complete assembly line.
The selected file will be opened automatically the next time you open this form, even between ToolsTalk
PowerMACS sessions. If no file has been selected, a default configuration is displayed.
How to create a Network Configuration file is described later in this chapter.
The network can also be scanned in order to automatically find all PowerMACS systems physically
connected to it. Click the Scan button to bring up a list of all System TCs on the network.
